I was dealt a royal hand
Three queens staring at a lucky man
I bet it all to quench my thirst
But fate served up a mistaken curse
 
This time around
Fortune shrugged and let me down
 
I got burned when I tried to pry
Turns out the truth cuts deep and wide
Spinning tales just fanned the flames
I can't put my finger on who to blame
 
This time around
Fortune shrugged and let me down
Fortune shrugged and let me down
Fortune shrugged, fortune shrugged
 
Now I feel like I'm losing a step
It's hard to keep my palate wet
I'm not asking for anything
I just want to hear the angels sing
But fortune shrugged, fortune shrugged, fortune shrugged
 
She didn't have the heart to say goodbye
She was gone in the wink of an eye
Driven out by circumstance
She never gave me second chance
 
This time around
Fortune shrugged and let me down
Fortune shrugged and let me down
Fortune shrugged, fortune shrugged, fortune shrugged
